July 2015 Tasks
Have you heard? You got an extra second last week. Twitter, Buzz Feed, and John Oliver were on it. I technically missed mine, although I spent it delightfully this holiday weekend surrounded by friends and family. It may be […]
Major Life Changes
Major transitions in life – geographical moves, job changes, key life milestones, and even personnel changes – cause upheaval, if not outright anxiety. They come with tremendous amounts of uncertainty, and although we occasionally thrive in uncertain situations (adrenalin and […]
Because Nice (Still) Matters
I am the opposite of a hoarder. I purge clutter with reckless abandon, assuming most of it is garbage (recyclable garbage, but garbage nonetheless). And most of it is. But sometimes something sticks with me. I can’t entirely explain […]
